I know i have O.C.D!?
Question:
Answers:
Ok, here's the deal: according to the diagnostic statistical manual (the DSM) you cannot have more than one disorder. Maybe you've just taken some psychology courses, in which case it's normal for students to think they have everything, but please don't try to diagnose yourself on your own.
I think you should see your family physician, and maybe he or she can refer you to a councilor. If you are diagnosed as having a particular disorder, you can then tell your family. If they still have trouble accepting it, then maybe you can convince them to undergo family councelling.
At any rate, I think you should seek help for yourself from a qualified professional.
All the best to you!
Ask them to send you to a specialist. Or wait until school starts and start complaining to your nurse or guidance counselor. They might call home and your parents will be so embarrased, they'd have to take you
Tell them that you're seriously concerned about your mental condition and get in to see a doctor.
Most people get doctor's check-ups every year. When your next one comes up (and this may be a long wait, but since your parents don't take it seriously...), tell your doctor about your symptoms. Try not to self-diagnose; sometimes that makes people think you are exaggerating. Instead, talk to your doctor about what you are actually doing which lets you know you have O.C.D. and maybe even bipolar, and let them do their work. I hope this helps!
i have similar things, not bipolar though (i'm pretty sure of that)
Do they no about the hair pulling, my parent's make me wear a hat. Look try and find a way to schedule an appointment with a doctor (neurologists?)
I've havent been in your situation before, so this is just my guess.
Its sad that your parents dont believe you, maybe you should try talking to the school nurse or a doctor about it, they should listen to you and try and help you.
Self diagnosis is not exactly a good choice, but I know you probably just want to know whats going on so I dont blame you.
If you are truly concerned, then sit your parents down, tell them you need their help. I am sure if you ask them to take you to at least check it out, to get some opinions of doctors.they will consider your feelings.
There are all different types and levels of personality disorders. Maybe your parents' think you are just being a hypochondriac after reading all the symptoms, that isn't to say that you don't have OCD, but it's dangerous to self-diagnose yourself and I urge you to speak up at school (nurse) or with a grown up that will listen.
If they won't hear you out after trying to have a serous discussion, you could always have a relative/trusted adult take you to an ER/hospital and ask them for their help.
I hope this helps.
Take care.
First of all, STOP DIAGNOSING YOURSELF. Ask to go to the doctor and tell him. A doctor is the only person who can help you.
Your best bet honey, Is to go to the guidence counselor when school starts. She/he will be able to help out a lot. Goodluck
